Every time a Brock Lesnar photo pops up, the fans latch onto it. The same has happened this time around as well. In a picture that’s gone viral on the internet, the 10-time World Champion could be seen sporting his grown beard with a cowboy hat complementing the pose alongside a fellow friend or a fan.
Does that tell something? It can only be deduced that the 47-year-old is at solace with where he’s at right now. The Beast hasn’t returned to WWE since losing a grudge match to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam last year.
Lesnar was due to return in this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match. However, merely days before the show, former WWE employee Janel Grant shook up the wrestling fraternity. She filed a heinous lawsuit against former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, accusing him of sex*al misconduct and physical abuse.
Grant’s suit also alleged an anonymous wrestler of depraved acts, the details of which were quite disturbing. Recent photo of Brock Lesnar pic. twitter.

In recent weeks, the rumors of his comeback gained steam after he was referenced on an episode of Raw twice. Numerous wrestling outlets then followed up with a detailed report on if Lesnar’s mention had any substance to it. PWInsider noted that the former UFC Champion and WWE haven’t held any talks.
